Was The National Enquirer Nunes' Information Source?

The chair of House Intelligence Committee announced that incidental information about Trump and his surrogates may have come from legal surveillance activities.  He has not shared the sources of this information with members of  the committee which he chairs.  Curiously, the tabloid which can be found at any supermarket during checkout,  published a very similar story two days before Nunes made his "breathtaking" discovery.  This would not be the first time that reports by fake new sources have been used to the defend Trump tweets.  The president and Nunes have access to all of the data collected by US intelligence agencies.  Fake news sites and tabloids like the National Enquirer may be their preferred sources of information for good reasons.  They provide cover for The Donald.  By the way, Trump is no stranger to the tabloids.  He used to provide information about his romantic and business successes to the tabloids well before he entered politics.  He has always been a publicity hound.
